Secret to keeping peach blossoms fresh longer during Tet
Keep the water in the vase clean
For peach blossoms in vases, you must always keep the water in the vase clean. Change the water regularly to water the flowers and place the vase in a direction with little wind, little sunlight and enough warmth.

Add more nutrition to peaches

Another ingredient that should also be considered to add nutrients to help peaches stay fresh and healthy is Potassium.
Do not burn the peach tree roots
When burned with fire, the base of the peach branch will burn, unable to absorb water and nutrients to nourish the branch, causing the peach branch to quickly wither and the flowers to quickly fade. Burning the base of the peach branch to keep the flowers fresh is unscientific.
According to folk experience, burning peach branches is first of all to kill bacteria and fungi that penetrate the vascular bundles of peach branches, limit sap flow, reduce nutrient loss of the branches and clean the water used to hold the peach... However, burning the base of peach branches will also block the vessels, preventing water and nutrients from going up to nourish the branches.
